The Cincinnati Bengals are trending in the right direction.
Not only is the team a playoff contender at 3-2 overall and 2-0 in AFC play, quarterback Joe Burrow is a better player than he was at the start of the season. At least in the virtual world.
EA Sports announced its latest batch of player ratings updates for Madden 22, and the Bengals signal-caller headlines the list of those who saw their totals improve after Week 5 of the NFL season. Burrow was boosted from a 78 overall to an 80 after throwing for 281 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during an overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers.
